| Now I would if I could but honey I can’t no more |
| Yes I would if I could but honey I can’t no more |
| I can’t get no cooperation, the way I did before |
| Why I would if I could but you’ve got me in your power |
| Yes I would if I could but you’ve got me in your power |
| Yes I’d do it in a minute, but I’d rather take a solid hour |
| Now you’re gettin' slow an' easy |
| You’re as patient as can be |
| You don’t ask for too much lovin' and |
| That’s just what’s botherin' me |
| Tell me papa papa, just what are we waitin' for |
| Yes I would if I could but I don’t get a chance no more |
| Now I listened to your lies |
| They don’t mean a thing to me |
| They might satisfy a square |
| But I’m too hip you see |
| So it’s back to the apple, and find me a better man |
| Well I would if I could, but damn if I think I can |
